How can we improve the developer experience on Twitch?

Developers: Extensions

Categories

Improve the accuracy and precision of "hlsLatencyBroadcaster" in the Extension helper library.

An improved "hlsLatencyBroadcaster" value unlocks and improves interactive experiences that rely on precise synchronization. For example, the Tobii eye tracker Extension and many Genvid Extensions that rely on this latency for accurate click or display location.

This functionality may be considered in the future, and we appreciate the feedback and comments provided on this suggestion. There are some technical challenges to solve to provide a better experience for synchronous use cases, though we do not have a timeframe for when this effort would be prioritized at this time.

    What alternatives have you guys come up with to solve this issue?

    Its been about a year. Post top voted in category and not even a comment. Would be nice to hear a Twitch response to the request.

    A solution to this would vastly lower the entry barrier for developers and users of extensions where time synchronization is essential, such as Tobii Ghost and similar use cases.

    This also doesn't even work at all on iOS.

    Yeah please add this. And btw. Tobii eye tracking is the best "Game" experience i have made with "Shadow of the Tomb Raider". Over and out ;D

    YES PLEASE!!! Syncing the Eye Tracker Manually is the ONLY thing i'm not a fan of and I love this thing!
